    FTTB - How is this broken off from the local loop?

    Something I've been wondering, but haven't been able to find an answer for. So a client of ours is getting MetroE services from AT&T who has fiber running along the highway in front of the premises. By what means does AT&T break off of their loop to provide service to this customer? I can't...

    Replacing Router - same IP different MAC, no dice. ARP to blame?

    Setup: Replacing 5520 ASA with another 5520 ASA that has been updated to the last firmware, RAM added, same config on both (same config expect for the converted NAT rules since Cisco changed their NAT format). Powered up new ASA next to the old ASA, waited until it was completely booted and...

    STP Question - picture included

    Please tell me I'm not going crazy here and that this question is simply incorrect. As I understand STP, switch B will be the root, making its f0/0 and f0/1 DP. The ports on the ends of those two segments will be Root Ports. The question in question lists these same results. My trouble comes in...

    Question regarding VTP (studying for CCNA)

    I came across a figure while reading Wendell Odom's ICND2 book, regarding VTP, which is confusing me. My understanding/confusion of how VTP works is related to the following assumption: Any switch receiving a VTP frame, regardless of what VTP state it is in, will forward the VTP message out...

    Should I bother attempting to repair this harddrive?

    I don't know if this is damage from the head scratching the platter, or if it is just a ring near the center. A similar model Diamondmax Plus 9 did not have this ring, so I'm thinking it is damage. Now I can get a replacement head, but I'm wondering if this area is really damage will anything...

    Is it logical to get the $50 XP-120 over a $40 XP-90?

    At what point does it become ignorant to pay more for the cooler? It seems that the inrease in voltage never really produces that large of an increase in heat. Am I wrong? If so, feel free to flame.
